    And as usual who comes out the winner here? $1,000 to 17,000 workers or $17,000,000 to the workers and the lawyers take home $15 mil. Maybe they could have thrown in some chickens as well to make it more fair. But at the very least they got money instead of a coupon.

    Some of us signed up for the suit but were told “there was no paperwork on us found”. Guess that helps increase lawyer’s payoff!

      I’m with you john.I believe the lawyers did take our money. They saying I’m getting less than $500 and i know thats not right out of $32 million and it is just 1700 employees its not right. SO LETS SUE THE GREEDY LAWYERS. ITS OUR MONEY AND WE WANT IT NOW!!!!!!
